简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of using enhanced golgi tendon organ stimulation on symptoms in patients with cervical disc herniation. The main question[s] it aims to answer are:
- Enhanced Golgi tendon organ stimulation is effective in reducing symptoms in patients with cervical disc herniation.
- Enhanced golgi tendon organ stimulation is not effective in reducing symptoms in patients with cervical disc herniation.
Participants will receive enhanced golgi tendon organ stimulation to the Sternocleidomastoideus, platysma, longus colli, longus capitis, scalene, rhomboid major & minor, levator scapulae and trapezius muscles for 3 weeks, 2 sessions per week for 45 minutes.
详细描述
Participants diagnosed with cervical disc herniation will be included. Participants will receive 6 sessions of 45 minutes each, 2 sessions per week for 3 weeks. Sternocleidomastoideus, platysma, longus colli, longus capitis, scalene muscles, rhomboid major & minor, levator scapulae and trapezius muscles and tendons of these muscles will be applied.
Two separate applications are performed with the stimulator and the algometer. After increasing the blood flow in the area for 30 seconds with the vibration of the stimulator up to the point of attachment of the tendon, a pressure of 0.5 kilograms is applied at an angle of 90 degrees at 0.5 cm intervals from the origin to the insertion of the muscle in the area with an algometer made of special steel. The aim of this treatment is to stabilise the contraction and relaxation mechanism by stimulating the Golgi tendon organ and to eliminate pain by relieving spasms.

结局指标
主要结局
Pain assessment with algometer
时间窗: baseline, immediately after the 6 weeks intervention
The sternocleidomastoid, platysma, longus colli, longus capitis, scalene, rhomboid major and minor, levator scapulae and trapezius muscles and their tendons are compressed to 0.5 kg using an algometer. The patient's response is used to determine whether or not there is pain.
SF-36 (short form-36)
时间窗: baseline, immediately after the 6 weeks intervention
The Short Form-36 (SF-36) is a self-assessment scale and analyses 8 dimensions of health including physical function, social function, role limitations (due to physical and emotional reasons), mental health, vitality (energy), pain and general perception of health with 36 items. In scoring the scale, each sub-dimension is given a score between 0 and 100 points, where 0 points indicate that the quality of life dimension is poor and 100 points indicate that it is good.
次要结局
- assessment of joint range of motion(baseline, immediately after the 6 weeks intervention)
- visual analogue scale (VAS)(baseline, immediately after the 6 weeks intervention)
- Spurling Test(baseline, immediately after the 6 weeks intervention)
- Endurance Test(baseline, immediately after the 6 weeks intervention)
